GOETZ: Opus 200 NEW

I don't know if it is good or bad but I broke down and purchased my first cast iron Goetz piece shown below. Quite a historical piece since Russia had experienced it's revolution this year and Lenin had taken over the country.

Opus 200: ARMISTICE ON THE EASTERN FRONT (Brest-Litowsk, Waffenstillstand). 1917, Cast Iron 59mm. To commemorate the beginning of the peace talks in Brest-Litovsk. Emperor Wilhelm informs his government he contemplates going to Brest-Litovsk if agreement is reached. Man wearing the fur cap. Standing in the automobile, is Leon Trotsky, the new Foreign Minister of the Soviets. Inscription on obverse “Begin of peace negotiations December 22, 1917.” Inscription on reverse”Armistice in the East December 17th, 1917.”
